SWlLL-BARREL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 793,366, dated June 27', 1905. Application filed October 8,1904. Serial No. 227,753.

Be it known that I, lVoDIn J. FREDERICK, of Odessa, in the county of Buffalo, State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Swill-Barrels, of which the following is a specification.

The aim of my invention is to provide a Swill-barrel which shall be simple of construction and be adapted to contain liquid food especially adapted to be used in feeding swine and be so arranged that the barrel will be a suitable distance above the ground, so that the barrel may be carried immediately over the hog-trough, to open a suitable valve and permit a suitable amount of the contents of the barrel to escape into the hog-trough; and my invention embodies certain other combinations described more fully hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawing have shown a view, partly in cross-section, of a swill-barrel embodying my invention.

.In connection with my device I use an ordinary barrel A, provided below with a suitable hoop f, and within the bottom a of which is a suitable escape-opening 1. Above this, barrel A is provided with the straps 12, secured, by means of the bolts 0, to the handle 11), and these straps there being two straps used-are provided with the cars 13, through which extends a U-bent bar 1 t, secured within the cars 13 by means of the nuts 15, so that the barrel above is secured by means of these metallic straps 12 and the bent rod 14. The barrel is further secured by means of the connecting-bar l1.

Secured to the barrel by means of the eyebolts 4, held by the nuts 5, is the bracket 9, provided with the opening 8, through which extends a lever 6, which lever, by means of a pin 7, is secured to the bar 3, provided with the plug 2, working Within the escape-opening 1, as shown. These eyebolts a, it will be noticed, perform a double function in that they movably hold the bar 3, as well as secure the bracket 0. Secured to the sides of the barrel by means of the inverted-1-shaped stubaxles U, which are secured to the barrel by means of the pin 1', are the wheels B, as shown.

In the use of this swill-barrel the troughs may be lilled without splashing and the loss of food, and the bar 3 may be readily operated by means of the lever 6, loosely working within the opening 8 of the bracket 9.

These barrels are made of suitable capacities.

Having thus described my said invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent, is

In a device of the character described, the combination with a barrel provided in its bottom with an escape-opening, of suitable supporting-wheels secured to said barrel, two strap-bars secured near the upper end of said barrel, said strap-bars being provided with projecting cars, a U-bent rod encompassing said barrel and passing through said ears, and being suitably secured therein, an operatinghandle secured to said strap-bars, cyebolts positioned within said barrel and supporting a suitably-perforated bracket, a bar working within the eyes of said bolts, a plug at the lower end of said bar, adapted to work into said escape-opening, and a lever working through said bracket and being pivotally secured to said bar all arranged, as and for the purpose set forth.

' In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WODIE J. FREDERICK.
